Our Dearest Listeners,
We've reached a point where it has become really hard for us to bear the ever-increasing expenses involved in keeping up this site, the bandwidth, free 24/7 access to our online radio station, etc. We've always strived to give away the teachings free-of-cost to our beloved listeners and always paid for everything from our own pockets. Now, we cannot but invite our patrons to provide us with any financial support that you can so that we can continue taking Pramod's message to our ever-widening circle of dedicated students and listeners. If you have benefitted from Pramod's words in any way, we request that you support us, by making a donation of any amount, however small, or by sending us your good thoughts and prayers. Thank you for your support!
- The Spirit Imprints Team.
P.S.: You can always make a donation by clicking on the 'PayPal Donate' button on the sidebar (scroll down to see it).

We continue with Back to Basics with this brand new episode, which is also the 50th episode of Manifest your Destiny! Last week's episode contained an affirmation pack for self-esteem (Simply scroll down the page to listen to it now!). The response from our dearest listeners was so overwhelmingly positive that within a few days after the release of that episode, our podcast page ran out of bandwidth. Our huge listener base eagerly downloaded the audio tape from every corner of the world. Thank you for making it a huge success!

Here Pramod presents a gift packet of positive affirmations for attracting abundance in all areas of your life. The amazingly potent and effective affirmations have been set to the softest angelic harp music and have been recorded using sophisticated technology so that it triggers both your left and right brain centers and goes straight to your subconscious mind where they can germinate and work their magic. They come to you wrapped in a ribbon of Pramod's trademark loving warmth and intimate touch, energetically charged with wholesome positive vibrations, just for YOU!

As Pramod says, "Sometimes we hold such long-winded discussions on advanced spiritual topics and do such complex debates that it is so easy to get lost in all that hair-splitting and miss the basics, the fundamentals of this field of applied spirituality, such as how to get things done, how do I love myself more, how do I get into the flow where all that I want flows to me easily, how do I attract abundance or how do I heal myself." Therefore this episode marks the beginning of a new series of short episodes entitled Back to Basics. In the coming weeks we will release a series of affirmation packs on a variety of topics that matter to us the most. This first pack contains affirmations for boosting self-esteem. The extremely simple and yet very potent affirmations have been set to the softest music and nature sounds. This episode also includes a brief introduction to affirmations, along with Pramod's practical suggestions on how to do affirmations.

Most people carry around a lot of heaviness, an emotional baggage of inner resistance and limiting beliefs. It's this heaviness that delays the manifestation of your desires, by significantly dissipating your spiritual energy. But you can shed that heaviness and truly embrace an experience of inner lightness, joy and peace, an experience of 'spiritual weightlessness', as Pramod puts it. The result will be faster, easier manifestation of your desires. This release of inner resistance is not achieved through specific activities, but more by entering a state of inner passivity where you are receptive to higher, faster spiritual vibrations.
This book is a collection of little nuggets of wisdom excerpted from the talks of Pramod. Every page displays just one different, brief meditation in large font, without any other distractions, including title / author headers, so that you can slip into the Sacred Space with the words, quickly and easily, in and out, in a minute or so, wherever you may be. There are no chapter divisions and the inspirational selections are not arranged in any thematic / sequential / conceptual order. However, there's a very subtle energetic / vibrational progression and it will be evident to someone who reads this collection in a contemplative fashion.
This book is imprinted with the unique spiritual energy of Pramod. You are bound to feel this palpable warmth as you spend some time with this book. We suggest that rather than just reading from cover to cover, you let this book work its magic in you. Meditate on the words (and the spaces between the words), keep this book on your bedside table or on the dashboard of your car, keep it in your bag as you go on that vacation or in your suitcase as you attend that business meeting.
Whenever you are feeling low or empty inside or even when you are feeling really good inside, just open the book at random, trusting that the wiser, older You will lead you to just the right words you need to receive in that moment.
Some of the quotations in this book are affirmations, some others are quick one-minute meditations and a few are sutra-like observations. The sheer variety of subjects is amazing, ranging from manifesting wealth and soulmate relationships to Zen stories, particle physics to the Emerald Tablet, the benefits of sex and sensuousness to Indian mantras, this book is bound to delight your mind and rejuvenate your soul!

This meditation is a collection of evocative affirmations adapted from a varied selection of sources, including Suzuki's lectures, Zen Buddhist texts, records of conversations with Sri. Nisargadatta Maharaj, philosophical tomes of Heraclitus, books on Advaita Vedanta (non-duality) and self-help classics. The profound words have been set to soul-stirring spiritual music, with stunningly beautiful scenes from nature, which will elevate you to a sweet meditative state. Here are a few suggestions on how to make the fullest possible use of this meditation:

a) Let the meditation run softly in the background. Make no effort to focus on or understand the words in the affirmations.
b) Simply trust that your subconscious / soul will grasp the truth to which the words point, without any effort on your part.
c) Whenever there is a gap of silence, focus softly either on the music or on the silence between the musical notes, or even on the meditative visuals. Just stay rested in the sacredness of the spaces.
d) Alternatively, ponder on the meanings of the words. Most of the affirmations are simple yet powerfully positive statements. However, a few of them are like sutras in their brevity and depth. Some of them are related, some stand alone.
May this meditation become a portal to the deep peace and bliss that resides in your Self!

Does it actually take a whole lifetime of spiritual practice to get enlightened? Pramod answers, "You are enlightened right now without any rigorous practice. So let what you call spiritual practice be a celebration of your connection, a gentle daily reminder to stay connected and to do this graceful dance between connected and not connected."
